This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18926767 titled 'Access Point Assisted Channel Synchronization
Original Abstract Submitted
An access point may communicate stations over a plurality of channels. The access point may indicate support of, and/or duration for, synchronization via at least one of the channels. Based on the indicated support and a transmission detected on a primary channel, operation may be switched from the primary channel to an auxiliary channel. Communication between the access point and a station may be conducted via the auxiliary channel during the duration after a synchronization frame is sent to inform the station for an availability of the auxiliary channel.
